Under the hood...

after removing the glide pads and opening it up (4 screws) allows one to wedge ~1.5mm thick shims of your choice... by only wedging the front or back it limits the direction of travel as well, making it better suited for one hand or the other.

Closing in on it...

I first scratched in the pattern by tracing the template, cleaned the lines with a ruler, drilled the corners and larger holes, then connected the dots with my jewelers saw and finished up with the file.

Stick in in

and say ahhh.... I skipped some pics, but for those concerned there is a layer of electrical tape on top of the brass plate, protecting the board from shorts. I also nipped off the overly long pins protruding through the board to ensure maximum clearance.

Wala!

The feel is now awesome. That weight brings the total mass up, but moves it's center of gravity down while leaving it's horizontal balances largely untouched; making it *very nice to use, and when picking it up it now feels like it's actually worth something. The button mod enables me to move it without unintentionally depressing them. As much :/
